Suicide is a major sin and a bad end. The one who kills himself in order to escape calamities or poverty or the results of distress or anger has, by doing that, exposed himself to the punishment of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):


“… And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allaah is Most Merciful to you.


And whoever commits that through aggression and injustice, We shall cast him into the Fire, and that is easy for Allaah” [al-Nisa’ 4:29]


Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron, that iron will be in his hand and he will be stabbing himself in the stomach with it in Hell for ever and ever. Whoever kills himself with poison, that poison will be in his hand and he will be drinking it in Hell…”

If the suicide stemmed from ignorance and the person was righteous and obeyed Allaah, and prayed regularly, then there is the hope that Allaah may forgive them, otherwise they may be subject to Allah's punishment per the hadith and ayah above. But, unlike the kuffar, they will not abide in it forever, even if He punishes them He will eventually bring them forth from the Fire, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, Allaah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills”[al-Nisa’ 4:48]


And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Everyone who says Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah (there is no god except Allaah) and has an atom’s-weight of faith in his heart will be brought forth from the Fire.”

What you can do is continue to make dua for her forgiveness. That's probably the biggest thing you could do for her.

Oh well my family told me that either way she could just make dua on lal qadir and the more dua she makes for her the more good deeds she gets and if she was a a faithful muslim it's possible her good deeds would out weigh her sucicide deed

He can never enter it.

So ..do. You mean you can take 10 Muslims with yourself but not kaafir.....
